The Sweetest Escape

Well, it's back to real life today. While most people enjoyed a four day weekend, I had to work on both the 4th and the 5th. I was initially pretty bitter about it, but I actually had a really good weekend... even if it was the standard Saturday and Sunday.

On Friday night Erica and I had the chance to meet up with Katrina and her road trip buddy, Ines. They had been trekking down the California coast and we were lucky enough to have dinner with them at Umami Burger. I love meeting up with other bloggers, especially ones who I follow and I'm constantly inspired by. Katrina was super sweet and even bought my baby a cute little gift. How sweet is that?

All I have to say is, thank heavens for skirts with an elastic waist! Like I've been saying all along, I'm trying my hardest to play with my own wardrobe for as long as I can. I've done a little bit of maternity clothes browsing but nothing has even slightly impressed me. ASOS has some great pieces but I'm pretty stumped beyond that (I'm open for suggestions!). I've always loved this skirt and I'm glad that it has enough stretch for about two more of me.

Next week is yet another doctor's appointment. I'm hoping I get to find out the sex (fingers crossed!) but it may not happen just yet. I actually booked an appointment at a 3D ultrasound facility the very next week just in case my doctor can't tell. I don't think I need to stress how anxious I am to find out what we're having!

Super cute! I love elastic waists haha. I've managed to find some cute maternity dresses at my thrift store. I'm kinda stumped at where you go shopping for it because I've seen how not cute most of it is D: Maybe some DIY projects?! Have a good day! :D

Sorry about your standard only weekend. My boyfriend works at the dialysis center in the hospital as an RN/runs the dialysis machines, so he has dumb days off as well. And works every holiday, I swear!

That's cool that you meet up with other bloggers. I've been blogging about 2 years and I've never seen another blogger in real life!

I can't really relate to a pregnancy wardrobe, but good luck! Also, good luck at your doctor appointment :)

Also, how do you do that braid thing!? I've seen it everywhere and I'm baffled by it.

Aw that picture of you and your dog is too cute! I ended up having to work both the 4th and the 5th too (damn on call shifts) but I get a day off today and that feels nice! I can't wait to find out the gender of your baby either, thats so exciting! I hope you'll share it with us!

I got to have dinner with Katrina last night and she is so so sweet - AND GORGEOUS. holy smokes, that was semi intimidating. gorgeous, super smart, and kind. I hope you ladies had a great time together. Your braids are adorable - makes me miss my long hair :(

Haha i can totally tell you're anxious about it ;) I'd so be too! And your blogger meet up sounded so fun- it's so sweet she bought your baby a gift. Also, i've never been impressed by maternity wear either- it all looks so blaaah and it's super expensive. All the people that i've known that were pregnant just bought normal clothes that were either loose fitting or had stretchy waists :)

Your hair is sooooo cute like this!! Perfect with the cute blouse and that funky skirt. Thank god for elastic waists is right, even though I'm not pregnant there is nothing better than an elastic waist! Hanging out with fellow bloggers is always such a great time! What a sweetheart, buying your little one a present!xJennaD

I don't think I've ever seen your hair up like that before; it's cute!

I didn't have to work on the 4th but I did have to come back for the 5th and then trot off into the weekend. It was pretty annoying to have to come back that one day because parents really, really, really can't stand to have their toddler for four days in a row. Or something like that.

Hang onto your clothes as long as you can! My sister hated her maternity clothes. Not that I'm trying to freak you out or anything. :P

I'm excited to find out what you're having too! I think with your belly growing and all, you should live in long flowy skirts and dresses. No need for ACTUAL maternity clothes right? Just do high waists!

thank you for the comment you left on my blog :) <3 your hair style is so lovely and of course another cute outfit! I hate working when everyone else is on holiday :( but at least you had a good time on friday night! xx

Ooh, this top is from Marshall's? I'm in love! Such a great basic. And of course, this skirt is adorable. I love how you're playing with your clothes to fit a maternity style, I think you're doing a great job so far. You should look at the Ruche blog of how Mai (the owner) dressed when she was pregnant not that long ago, I think she documented her style the whole way and was adorable!

Also, Umami burger is the best. I've only been to the Anaheim one, but I love it. And yes, meet-up ASAP! What about next weekend or the weekend after?

As for this outfit- I really like it, but what struck me the most, was your hair- very cute in heidi braids (but not something I've seen you do before?) , and the big oversized bag! We don't often see your bags, so that was fun too.

aww you dont even look preggos here at all. i love the loose fit of it on you & the braids are so cute! now i realize you always have your hair up so this was fun to see. sounds awesome getting to meet up w/ other bloggers. for maternity clothes, i dont know if it'll stretch your stuff too much, but I loved that Marisa seemed to wear a lot of her things throughout her pregnancy just w/ a little diff twist like no belt, dress as a top, etc. Or I'd say get a size bigger at secondhand stores? it always seems like a pity to buy so many new things you'll hardly use again and maternity stuff can often be really big it seems.My blog: Cuddly CactiMy E-Shop: Mitla Moda

You are just the cutest mom-to-be! I love this outfit on you, it's so fun and perfect for summer. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way for your next doctors appointment! I'm sure you will make an amazing mama!
